CVE-2026-45042 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-45042: RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-beta.2, improper authorization in the UploadPartCopy operation allows copying objects across buckets without enforcing destination bucket restrictions on allowed copy sources. The implementation validates GetObject permission on the source bucket and PutObject on the destination bucket independently, but does not enforce any policy constraints on whether the destination bucket permits the specified copy source. This enables unauthorized cross-bucket data movement. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0-beta.2.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-45042

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-45042 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-45042

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-45042.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-45042, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
